Preparation
  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook for about 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it's fully browned and no longer pink. Drain any excess fat.
  2. Stir in the taco seasoning along with two-thirds cup of water. Allow it to simmer for five minutes, stirring gently.
  3. While the beef cooks, warm the tortillas in a separate pan or in the oven at 350°F for about five minutes.
  4. Chop the tomatoes, shred the lettuce, and dice the onions for the toppings.
  5. Lay out the warm tortillas. Place a generous spoonful of the seasoned beef in each one, adding your choice of toppings.
  6. Serve the tacos immediately while still warm, and let everyone build their own masterpiece at the table.
